"It mightn't be altogether a bad thing if you and me went to the altar together, Sarah. 'Twas always understood you'd be married from 'The Seven Stars, and the sight of a young bride and bridegroom would soften the ceremony a bit and distract the eye from me and Richard." "Good Lord!" answered the girl. "There won't be no eyes for small folks like us on the day you take Mister Gurd.
The discovery amazed him, but he could not escape it; and in the light of such a surprise he became a little dazzled. Sudden soul movements of such force and complexity made Richard Gurd selfish. It is a fact, that before he went at the appointed time to see the mistress of 'The Seven Stars, he had forgotten all about Job Legg and was entirely concerned with his own tremendous project.
He spoke defiantly, as though knowing his entrance was a challenge. Then he flung himself down on a cushioned seat in the bow window of the bar-room and took a pipe and tobacco pouch from his pocket. Mr. Gurd brought the drink round to Raymond. He spoke upon some general subject and pretended to no astonishment that the young man should be here on this day. But the customer cut him short.
She put on her bonnet now, left a maid to settle with the customers and presently stepped across the road to 'The Tiger, for it was Richard Gurd in whom Mrs. Northover put her trust. She designed to place Job's offer before her friend and invite a candid and unprejudiced criticism.
But the world is callous and cold, and I shall not repeat those tales. The world is callous and cold; but, as the shifty spectre at last pointed me, unwilling, homeward, he murmured, with tears in his eyes: "I never found sech an intellergent listener as you be not in the whole length and breadth of Californy." "Vesty 's married Gurd!
Fluke shook his head. "Go home, you," he said: "one fiddle is enough! If we want a merry time, don't bother." Gurdon stayed patiently, but with a brow waxing determined. The flattered girls, the broadcloth guests cast unwelcome glances at him. "Go home, Gurd!" said Fluke, at last. "You spoil it all with a face like that. Go on, and don't mind us, or you and I shall quarrel."
I've got more brains than Daniel, anyway. I'm quite conscious of that." "You've got tons more mind than him," declared Neddy. "And if that's the case, I could do more good, if I chose, than ever Daniel will." "Or more harm," warned Mr. Gurd. "Always remember that, Mister Raymond. The bigger the intellects, the more power for wrong as well as right." "He'll ask me to go into the works, I expect.
Churchouse. When Richard Gurd began to consider the case of Nelly Northover, his mind was very curiously affected. To develop the stages by which he arrived at his startling conclusions might be attractive, but the destination is more important than the journey.
He's hard, and last time he was in this house but one, he got as drunk as a lord and Legg helped him to bed. And he quarrelled very sharp with Mister Gurd for giving him good advice; and Richard says the young man is iron painted to look like wood. And he's rarely mistook." "But he always did tell us we never got enough money for our work," argued Sarah.
"All I can say is that I wish Gurd had offered sooner, and not led me into this tremendous misfortune. Of course, him and me aren't in the same street and I won't pretend it, for none would be deceived if I did. But I say again it's very unfortunate he hung fire till he heard that I had made my offer.
